Thats right folks! The discs are super sweet Buzzz ESPs and most of them are sold, so contact me if you want one. (susantinch@hotmail.com or 706-769-2384) There may or may not be any left for sale at the tournament.

I want to remind you that the cost for registration goes up by $10 the week of the tournament, so please sign up early.

If anyone has a friend or family member who might want to tag along and volunteer to help out on the day(s) of the tournament, they can contact me through the same contact information and I will find a perfect job for them.

There are 2 small tweaks to the course this year, on hole 15 (the one that crosses the creek a couple times) the tee moved to the left to take the un-natural-ness out of the drive angle and the basket moved back and left about 40 feet, it's now sitting on very cool corner of the creek. I think the hole will play much better than in the past.

Hole 16 (the short anhyzer in the woods) is also changing, the basket stays the same but the tee moves left about 30 feet to straighten out the hole. It's an easier angle to throw but still a lefty hole.

Remember that there is a late fee if you wait until the week before (which I believe is this coming Monday!)

As of right now, I believe the course will open for play starting next Wed. the 10th, although I will have to confirm that with the Park and the wonderful Mrs. Tinch, who is the true workhorse behing this tournament.
Soooo....Sign up now and avoid the late fee!!

For those of you who haven't seen the website, the players meeting is at 9am sharp. The course is looking great. I haven't seen the latest registration, and I know the pdga list isn't updated yet, but I know there are less than 20 spots left.

Will the course be playable on Wednesday? If so do you need permission to play? Also can you re-post directions to the course. If that is already available I apologize for my lack of attention to details.

We will have people out there on Wednesday afternoon (I don't know when "Afternoon" is, it now occurs to me that I should ask) so you guys can come out and play. I will most likely be out there early-ish (like 11 or 12), which means we'd have everything from noon until dark covered, so feel free to come out Wed.

if there are any locals that have not played the crucible before, i strongly suggest a singles practice round before tourney time.

at par 69, you will have distance issues on many holes, and perfect shot execution and placement on every hole. and just for fun, 17 of the holes are blind tee shots! many times, your upshots will be blind.

after the round, consider Doug Porter's and Brad Hammock's score of 60.

this is a model for the first pay-to-play course in GA that would make money. amazing place!

the series premier (first) event in the georgia's super six series on feb 16th, 2008 which will also be held at the crucible course thanks to the fine athens club folks who graciously allowed us the ability to use the course!!!

thanks to everyone there in athens and i'll see you all saturday morning

I can't play in the tournament for a variety of reasons. I would really like to play the course, though. What time will things wrap up on Sunday? Would anyone object to me going out and playing a round after the tournament finishes?

#5 (you have to throw on top of the barn to be ob)
#6 (the property line fence, I bet we don't have 3 OB's a year over it)
#11 fence
#13 left of road
#15 creek
#18 fence that is almost impossible to go over

So 6 of 'em, and 5, 6, and 18 I've never even come close to going OB...

2 Meter was more my concern. Last year I had five of them. Which I guess isn't "OB" but it's extra strokes none the less. I like the new layout on hole 15 BTW. It plays a good bit tougher IMO. Very happy with a 4 there.

Not that OB is a sore point for me or anything

Isnt there this big lake thing on 9? Ive seen people hit it from 14 too.

Great tournament. Perfect weather. Fried green tomato biscuits are the
s h i t that killed Elvis (that's good). Thanks to the staff for all of their hard work and congrats to all the winners. Especially Phil for shooting that ridiculous 59.

great course, great weather, great people.....thanks to susan for stepping up to host everyone....and for pushing everybody to fill out their trivia forms....(who won by the way....couldn't be that many that got all of them right) as doug came up with a pretty good one this year

another 3 golfers in georgia can now thank me for my brilliant disc golf skills as for the 5th tournament in georgia, i miss a 4 ft putt on the last hole that keeps me from last cash and splits it instead (4 ways this time)....i really hate my disc golf mental abilities and i will not play another event in georgia unless somebody smacks me upside the head before the round starts.....

i'm sure i'll have to set up a lottery system as there will be WAAAY more volunteers than needed for me to remain conscious if everyone that wanted to smack me volunteered

at least the next 2 weeks i get out of the area in virginia and vegas to play some great courses
